  • Patent number: 12050164
    Abstract: A throughflow measurement system for measuring a fluid throughflow through a pipe includes a first measurement arrangement having at least two ultrasonic transducers and that is configured to determine a value for the fluid throughflow through the pipe on the basis of transit times of ultrasonic signals transmitted and received with and against the flow. A second measurement arrangement includes a plurality of hot-wire sensors that are arranged distributed over the cross-section of the pipe and that are each configured to determine a local flow value. An evaluation device is in signal connection with the first measurement arrangement and the second measurement arrangement and is configured to determine a flow profile on the basis of the local flow values determined by the hot-wire sensors and to modify the value for the fluid throughflow, which is determined by the first measurement arrangement, on the basis of the determined flow profile.

  • Publication number: 20230243683
    Abstract: A flowmeter for measuring a flow of a fluid has a sensing element that has a pipeline for the fluid with a pipe wall, at least one phased array ultrasonic transducer unit, which can emit ultrasonic signals into different emission angles and can receive ultrasonic signals from different reception angles, a control and evaluation unit that is designed to control the ultrasonic transducer unit for emitting the ultrasonic signals along a measurement path and for evaluating the received ultrasonic signals and determining a flow using transit times of the ultrasonic signals. The sensing element has at least one reflector, which is designed to reflect the ultrasonic signals emitted by the ultrasonic transducer unit back to the same ultrasonic transducer unit. The ultrasonic signals pass through the measurement path from the ultrasonic transducer unit to the reflector and back to the ultrasonic transducer unit on at least partially different path sections.

  • Patent number: 11619528
    Abstract: Flow velocity of a fluid is measured using a measuring sensor comprising a conduit with a conduit wall, and at least two ultrasonic transducer units (20, 22), each of which consists of an array of individual ultrasonic transducers (30-x, 32-x) and defining a measuring path (24) between them in the conduit (14). The ultrasonic transducer units emit ultrasonic signals and received ultrasonic signals are evaluated to determine the flow velocity. The individual ultrasonic transducers are driven with different phase, so that the ultrasonic transducer units provide a phased array. In order to achieve the most accurate measurement results possible, the ultrasonic transducer units contact the outside of the conduit wall (16), and the conduit wall (16) is formed in the area of the contact with a wall thickness (w) that is less than half the wavelength of the transverse wave (?Rohr) of the ultrasound in the conduit wall.
